《黑客军团》:当罗宾汉变成技术宅

　　Many have dreamed of having the power to secretly right wrongs and make the world a fairer place. Mr. Robot’s Elliot Alderson is living that dream.

　　很多人都梦想自己能秘密地伸张正义，让世界变得更加公平。《黑客军团》中的艾略特攠尔德森正是生活在这样的梦想里。

　　Alderson (Rami Malek), is a brilliant, twitchy and socially awkward computer programmer at a cyber security company. But that is only his day job. At night he hacks² the accounts of big companies, looking into their misdeeds and reporting them to the police.

　　奥尔德森（拉米氠雷克饰）是个智商超高，有点神经质，并且对社交一窍不通的码农。白天他在一家网络安全公司工作。晚上，他变身为一名黑客，入侵大公司的账户，调查它们的罪行，然后报告警方。

　　As Alderson sees it, his enemies are the elites³ who run the finances of the country –“the top 1 percent of the top 1 percent” who are “playing God without permission”.

　　在奥尔德森的眼里，他的敌人就是那些操控国家金融的精英分子，那些富人中的富人，他们未经授权却扮演着上帝的角色。

　　But the show is actually named after a supporting player – Mr Robot – the mysterious leader of an underground hacking⁴ collective who recruits Alderson to destroy the company he is paid to protect, putting him between a rock and a hard place.

　　不过，这部剧却用一个配角的名字作为片名。罗伯特先生（Mr. Robot）是一个神秘的地下黑客组织的首领，他招募了奥尔德森，让奥尔德森摧毁雇佣自己的公司，这也让奥尔德森陷入了困境。

　　Hailed by Forbes as “the best show of the summer and on track to be a modern classic”, Mr.Robot is a mirror of the times. Although it was in production long before the 2014 Sony Pictures Entertainment cyber attack and the iCloud photo hack¹ that exposed personal photos of celebrities⁵, the subject is clearly gaining significance.

　　《黑客军团》是一面时代的镜子，该剧被《福布斯》杂志誉为“今夏最棒剧集，有望成为当代经典电视剧”。虽然该片的制作早在2014年索尼影业遭遇黑客袭击和苹果icloud明星照片泄露事件之前就已经开始了，但黑客问题正在变得更加重要。

　　"Before, people didn’t quite get when a guy is on a computer how dangerous that can be,” Sam Esmail, the show’s creator and head writer, told Variety, a US entertainment magazine. "But now that it’s become more in the culture and people are witnessing it and seeing the real damage it can cause, I think they can buy into that a kid at a keyboard can be incredibly dangerous.”

　　“以前，人们并没有意识到一个玩电脑的家伙能有多大的破坏力”，《黑客军团》制片人和主要编剧山姆伊斯梅尔，对美国娱乐杂志Variety说，“但是现在，这种认识已经渗入了文化，人们目睹了它和它巨大的破坏力，我相信他们现在明白了，一个摆弄键盘的孩子也能变成极度危险的分子。”

　　But Esmail is aiming for larger underlying⁶ themes, hoping that the show digs into more than just the culture of hacking.

　　不过伊斯梅尔的目标是挖掘更深层次的主题，希望该剧能超越黑客文化。

　　"There is an anger that I think everyone senses in society with where we’re at, especially since the financial collapse⁷ and the income inequality, not just in America, but internationally,” he said. “It’s a conversation people should be having. I think we just want to bring it to the forefront.”

　　“我想当每个人都感受到自己在社会中的处境，特别是在金融崩溃和收入不均（不仅是在美国，而是全球性的）时，社会戾气会很重。”他说：“这应该是人们未来关注的焦点。我想我们只不过把它放在了台前。”
